Abstract

Aortic neck diameter is an independent anatomical feature that is poorly understood, yet potentially linked to proximal seal failure and adverse outcome following standard EVAR. The aim of this study was to assess whether large proximal aortic neck (LAN) diameter is associated with adverse outcome using prospectively collected individual patient data from The Global Registry for Endovascular Aortic Treatment (GREAT). A total of 3166 consecutive patients, from 78 global centres, receiving Gore Excluder stent grafts for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair between 2011 and 2017 were included. Patient demographics, biometrics, operative details, and clinical outcome were analysed. Patients were divided into two groups: normal baseline proximal aortic neck (NAN) diameter (<25 mm on computed tomography aortography), and LAN (≥25 mm). Clinical follow up (including imaging) was available for 76.5% of patients 5 years post-intervention. Primary endpoints analysed were Type IA endoleak and any aortic re-intervention up to 5 years post-procedure. A composite endpoint of Type IA endoleak, re-intervention, aortic rupture, or aortic related mortality was also assessed. A total of 1977 (62.4%) patients were classified NAN and 1189 (37...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
